📚 We are thrilled to have officially reopened the newly refurbished Carrigaline Library.

📕 New additions at Carrigaline Library include a young adult zone with relaxed seating, a remodelled children’s area with more books and children’s worktables for homework, crafts and games, and comfortable seating in the windows for reading and watching the world go by.

📖 Carrigaline, Kinsale and Mallow libraries also welcomed the launch of 'My Open Library' , technology-driven service offering extended opening hours to library members on a self-service basis outside of normal opening hours, seven days per week, from 8:00am to 10:00pm, 365 days per year..
